Sponsor a Special Needs Child - Compassion International

The children pictured here have difficult lives. Not only are they desperately poor, but they also deal with mental and/or physical challenges. It's tough to grow up in poverty. These special needs just multiply the challenges for these children!

Between 120 and 150 million children in the world cope with mental and/or physical challenges. These children are at great risk of:

Discrimination

Neglect

Abuse and exploitation

In fact, less than 2 percent of the world's special needs children attend school.

It is difficult for these special needs children to have hope for the future when their options for developmentally appropriate interventions and education are limited. They urgently need sponsors to care for them and cherish them as precious creations of God.

Be an instrument of Christ's love and sponsor a child with a special need. Your tax-deductible support of just $38 per month will provide your child:

Educational opportunities

Health care and supplemental nutrition, if necessary

Safe, healthy recreation

Opportunities to learn important life skills

And most important, the opportunity to hear the gospel

Make a lasting difference in the life of a child. Choose to sponsor a child with special needs.
